Hey!
I'm headed down a highway ... got my suitcase by my side
Uh blue skies hangin' over my head I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town to play a late night show
I hope the people are ready there ... 'cause the boys are all ready to go
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, and miles of travellin'
Is all I understand
Yes I was born a travellin' man and my feets do burn the ground
I don't care for fancy music if your shoes can't shuffle around
I got a hundred women or more and there's no place I call home
The only time I'm satisfied is when I'm-uh on the road
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, and miles of travellin'
Is all I understand
Sometimes I wonder ... well where will we go
Lord don't you take my ... whiskey ... and rock and roll
Ohh!
Uhh!
take me down to Memphis town ... bus driver get me there
I got me a queenie ... she got long brown curly hair
She likes to drink Old Grandad and her shoes do shuffle around
And every time I see that gal ... Lord she wants to lay me down
Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey, and miles of travellin'
Is all I understand
Sometimes I wonder ... well where will we go
Lord don't you take my, my, my ... whiskey ... and rock and roll
Whew!
Yeah!
